With the __attribute__ __section__ it is possible to allocate

"Hello
World!" strings into the .xxx_section section:
char x[] __attribute__ ((__section__(".xxx_section"))) = "foo bar";
char* y __attribute__ ((__section__(".xxx_section"))) = "Hello
World!";
int main() {
return 0;
}
However, with gcc version 4.3.1 (Debian 4.3.1-9) only the "foo bar"
string is
stored in .xxx_section:
$ objdump -s a.out
a.out: file format elf32-i386
